Death Rattler Growl

Holy Moses - it happened so fast
I went to see the blues man I'd enjoyed in the past
I thought of him as young - between the ears
But it was clear he had lost - his best years

Then he said, All I got left now - is The Death Rattler Growl

He said every generation - has its own code
To separate the youth - from their old
He said My time's up - I'm going down
No time left - for this rodeo clown

He said I'll sing you one last how - The Death Rattler Growl

He said I've had a good life - did all I wanted to
I've loved and I've laughed - Even sang these blues
Don't cry at my grave - it's just nature's way
For me to meet the angel who watched me by day

He said I got one last song to howl - the Death Rattler Growl
